3 things to do when you have a power fault

1. Check these:

> Do your neighbours have power?
> Did anyone hear or see anything in relation to the power going off?
> Have fuses on your fuse box blown?
> Is your mains switch turned on?
> Are the streetlights on?

2. Turn your power off at the mains if:

> You smell electrical smoke.
> Your power supply surges (lights go dim and then bright again, or appliances are turning off and on).
> There is a fire on site and you can do so safely.

Important – all power lines should be treated as live even after having been turned off at the mains switch.

3. Turn any electronic / digital appliances off if:

> Your power supply is surging (lights go dim and then bright again, or appliances are turning off and on).
> The fuse for any appliance in use has blown. Although the appliance may not be going, you should still turn it off at the wall.
> Water has come in contact with any appliance you are using.
> Your home is struck by lightning (often if your house is struck, appliances in use will stop working).

Power conditioners and/or surge protectors may help reduce voltage fluctuations and can be purchased from electrical appliance outlets. Insurance cover for damage caused by fluctuating power is also an option.
